This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to establish a five-year pilot program that would allow pregnant women to qualify for TRICARE Select military health insurance coverage, even outside the normal enrollment periods. The program must begin within 180 days of the bill's enactment and would apply to eligible beneficiaries, which includes military members, veterans, and their family members. The Secretary of Defense is required to report to Congress annually on the program's progress, including how many people enroll through this new pregnancy-based qualifying event and demographic breakdowns of enrollment changes. The bill requires an initial briefing to Congress within one year and establishes annual reporting requirements throughout the five-year pilot period to measure the program's impact and effectiveness.
